For fucks sake

 

[7 - No tomorrow]

Meryl Streep, 'Suffragette' stars wear shirts with poorly-chosen quote

The condescending tut-tutting here.

You'd have to think there's a corner being turned on outrage culture and what people will react to. Someone's gotta throw a flag on bullshit like this.

rather you than me, buddy

Americans now have a monopoly on the words "rebel" and "slave". No other context will be tolerated.

 

[Lili Marlene]

While it's safe to assume that British activist Pankhurst didn't mean to evoke the American Confederacy —which adopted "rebel" as its descriptor of choice — her quote has unfortunate implications when read by U.S. audiences

Timeout LONDON.

Come on ffs

No one tell Spiked about this, we'll never hear the end of it.

 

[therealjohnny]

Salon is already on the case.

Most people don't actually care though, they have real problems to deal with. This stuff exists in a tiny little bubble of which most are unaware. Long may that continue.

Problem is when people start dumping this frivolous -my context is the only context- stuff in with more important issues like, I dunno, abortion rights.

Just dem liberals whinging again.

Yeah Meryl Streep like. If you want to find a reason to be offended by her check out her stage Irish performance in Dancing at Lughnasa.

It's... triggering.

She's going down

Student diversity officer who tweeted 'kill all white men' is charged

 

[David Kronenbourg]

i like her

 

[Lili Marlene]

There's no way someone who looks like Zooey Deschanel will go to jail. Her name is almost a character from the Lion King*! She'll be hired by buzzfeed.





*racist comment from me there.

Who's pressing charges? It's not clear from that article.

This is that Orwellian "threatening communications" law again. Same thing was used to charge kids in the north who posted photos of themselves burning poppies.

 

[therealjohnny]

for a second I thought that said "burning puppies" :O

 

[Scientician 0.8]

Actually my recollection is a bit off it seems they were done for incitement to hatred primarily with one of them being charged with "improper use of the public electronic communications network".

Teens in court over 'poppy burning'

A Muslim dude was also fined £50 for burning poppies on Remembrance Day.

 

[GO]

Jaze for a second there I thought that said "A Muslim dude was also fined £50 for burning poppies on Ray Darcy Day"

This furore over the word "rebel" has NOTHING to do with a new Star Wars film coming out, right?
